SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 591,677, dated October12, 1897.

' Application filed November 4, 1896. Serial No. 611,022. (No model.)

T0 (0% whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, ROBERT L. MOORE and LOUIS P. MOORE, residents ofStatesville, in the county of Iredell and State of North Carolina, haveinvented a new and useful Lamp-Chimney Attachment, of which thefollowing is a specification.

This invention is a new and useful device adapted to be applied to alamp-chimney to prevent a downward draft through the chimney, wherebythe flame is either extinguished or is caused to smoke; and anotherobject of the device is to provide suitable means by which a smallreceptacle or object can be supported upon the lamp-chimney and heated.

XVith these various objects in view our invention consists, essentially,of a wire ring provided with a series of legs adapted to fit upon theupper end of the chimney and a plate hinged to the said wire ring andadapted to rest thereon.

Our invention consists also in certain details of construction andnovelties of combination, all of which will be fully describedhereinafter and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is aperspective view of a lamp provided with our attachment. Fig. 2 is aperspective view of the said attachment ready to be placed upon thelamp. Fig. 3 is a top plan view, the plate being thrown back. Fig. at isa transverse sectional view, the plate being shown in place upon thering. Fig. 5 is a detail view showing a modification, and Fig. 6 is adetail sectional view of the modification shown in Fig. 5.

In carrying out our invention we employ a wire ring A, to which areattached the legs B, bifurcated at their lower ends, as shown at B.These legs are so arranged and the bifurcation is of such a nature thatthe ring can be readily attached to the top of the lamp-chimney and willthereby securely hold said ring in place at the top of the chimney.

A plate O is hinged to one side of the ring A, preferably by means ofsmall rings or eyes D, whereby the plate 0 can be turned back and forthas desired.

' Nowwhen the device is set in place in the top of the lamp-chimney andthe plate turned down it is obvious that a downward draft through thechimney is prevented, and, furthermore, any small object, such as a cup,can be seated upon the wire ring when the plate is turned back, as inFig. 3, for the purpose of heating.

In Figs. 5 and 6 we have shown a modification. In this form the cap orplate is removably supported in the wire ring, and the downturned edgesextend below the top to the chimney, so that a draft will be preventedgoing down the chimney. Aspace is also provided, as shown, so that heat,&c. can escape.

It will thus be seen that we provide an eX- ceedingly cheap, simple, anddurable attachment which can be connected to any of the lamps now in useand will thoroughly perform all of its intended functions.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A lamp attachment consisting of awire ring provided with legs wherebyit is supported on the top of the lamp-chimney, and a circular metalplate hinged to the ring at one side thereof, substantially asshown anddescribed.

2. A lamp attachment consisting of a circular ring having the legsbifurcated as described, the circular metal plate and the rings or eyesfor connecting the said plate to the wire ring all arranged and adaptedto operate substantially as shown and described.
